Kept moving between the guys that actually did the actual fighting. How was it for you guys? Too bad our pilots were unemployed, apparently the Blackfoor was waiting for the pilots at the extraction point. I suppose the briefing wasn't clear enough at that point. Already reported to Vanha about that. Everybody please thumb up and comment on the mission page here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/fi...+of+titans
I assume this is the one where Outlawz and myself were on the heli team. I think the new TFA version actually caused a fair amount of issues in this one, as when I started it seems that my LR frequency must have been different from the main squads, because for a long time I never heard anything until there was enough text chatter to confirm frequencies. Similarly, Outlawz had one of the SR radios with pre-set channels and no custom frequencies, whereas I had one where I could set the numbers. We spent a fair amount of time going back and forth trying to figure out what was going on until eventually coming to the conclusion that we had completely different radios.
I can see the idea of bringing more radio types in to enhance realism, but it just made it sort of frustrating overall. I don't see the point in the team leader having the only custom frequency radio...if they needed to change frequencies between multiple squad SR channels, they could much more easily just use the same radio as everyone else and switch channels. Maybe I'm missing something but it seems like it's making the process more complicated than it needs to be.
Overall, as far as the mission goes, I was not really sure what we were supposed to do with the transport helicopter. It sounds as though we were expected to fly it to the extract point, and then pick up the Blackfoot? With the enemy jet circling the area like a hawk I wonder if we would have even made it. Definitely needs some clarity on the role of the pilots.
Good mission overall, though...just half the time I wasn't really sure what I was supposed to be doing, and coupled with the communication issues it detracted from the mission greatly.
